What Causes Under-Eye Bags, Hollows, and Lines?
Under-eye bags, hollows, and lines can make you look tired, no matter how much sleep you get. They are caused by a number of factors, including genetics and aging. However, lifestyle and medical history can also affect the delicate skin around your eyes.
Aging
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume, leading to sagging skin, bags, hollows, and fine lines. When we were younger, the breakdown of the youthful building blocks in our tissues would be replenished quickly by our body. However, with age, the breakdown continues at the same rate while the body takes longer to replenish youthful elements like collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid Of course, gravity doesn’t help.
Allergies
If you have allergies, you likely experience dark circles, lines, and under-eye bags. This is because the eyes are very susceptible to allergy symptoms. Dryness, itching, and swelling, which often leads to allergy sufferers rubbing their eyes, hurts the delicate under-eye area, leading to stretching, sagging, and lines.
Sun Damage
Exposure to the sun is another culprit, which makes under-eye bags and fine lines look worse. Since ultraviolet rays break down collagen, getting out of the sun or wearing sunscreen whenever possible is good for your under-eye area as well as the rest of your body. Furthermore, if you don’t wear a good pair of UV protective sunglasses any time you’re in the sun, the constant squinting and UV penetration can lead to lines and other skin damage.
Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation can lead to under-eye bags, lines, and dark circles because lack of sleep prevents your body from producing enough moisture that would otherwise soften tissue around the under-eyes. Our skin does a lot of repair work while we sleep, so lack of sleep can affect your skin health in more ways than one!
How to Treat Under-Eye Bags, Hollows, and Fine Lines
Surgery isn’t for everyone. While some people will have better results with a blepharoplasty (eye lift surgery), many will benefit from less invasive, non-surgical procedures with little-to-no downtime. These procedures, coupled with a skincare routine consisting of medical-grade skincare products, can help you look younger and more refreshed.
Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers
One way to reduce under-eye bags, hollows, and fine lines is with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to fill in lines and wrinkles, as well as under-eye bags and hollows. These injectables are a long-term but temporary solution that replenishes broken-down hyaluronic acid, drawing natural moisture to the area. This restores lost volume and smooths the area for a more youthful, refreshed look. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the trademarked, celebrity-favorite Vampire Facelift, the results can be even more significant.
NEW: Juvederm Volbella XC, by Allergan (the maker of Botox), is now FDA-approved for use in the under eyes.

BOTOX Cosmetic Injections
Another option for under-eye rejuvenation is Botox. When injected into the muscle responsible for producing lines, Botox temporarily relaxes it, reducing the appearance of lines and preventing them from getting worse. This is great for under-eye lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows, all of which contribute to the aging appearance of your eyes.
PDO Threads (Thread Lift)
PDO threads are a non-surgical treatment option for under-eye bags and fine lines which offer instant results. These dissolvable surgical sutures are inserted into the skin to tighten and lift. Over time, these threads also stimulate natural collagen growth for long-term improvements and results, like youthful volume restoration.
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
One of our most requested skin rejuvenation treatments, microneedling is used to improve the appearance of the skin in a variety of ways. Microneedling involves using tiny needles to prick the skin and promote collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags, dark circles, and fine lines. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the celebrity-favorite Vampire Facial treatment, results can be even more dramatic.
